ScWRKY2: a key regulator for smut resistance in sugarcane
Summary Sugarcane smut is a worldwide fungal disease caused by Sporisorium scitamineum, which seriously jeopardizes the healthy and sustainable development of the sugarcane industry. WRKY transcription factors are actively involved in plant responses to pathogen infection; however, the mechanisms by which WRKY mediates resistance to sugarcane smut ...

ZmSSRP1, transactivated by OPAQUE11, positively regulates starch biosynthesis in maize endosperm
Summary Starch synthesis is crucial for crop yield and quality. This study reveals an O11‐ZmSSRP1 module of kernel starch biosynthesis in maize (Zea mays). We identify STARCH SYNTHESIS REGULATING PROTEIN 1 (ZmSSRP1) positively regulates amylose and amylopectin‐dependent starch synthesis in maize endosperm.

Summary Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important legume crop that has been subjected to intensive breeding, resulting in limited genetic diversity. Australia is the world's second largest producer and the leading exporter of chickpea; the genomic architecture of its cultivars remains largely unexplored.

Exploring potential strategies for haploid induction based on double fertilization in plants
Summary Haploid induction (HI), an indispensable procedure in doubled haploid breeding, has attracted increasing attention in crop genetic improvement due to its ability to rapidly fix desirable traits in a homozygous state, thereby shortening the breeding cycle.
